how about a "dispell" spell.. that just takes 1 random spell off the target.. could be used as both friendly and hostile lol..

Good suggestion, I was thinking about that exact same thing.
It should fit best on the Light School of Magic, but since those spells always penetrate shields, that wouldn't be very nice to other players

an example...

Realm A with IT and Slow Pop
Realm B with dispell

both from same sphere at war...if B cast on A, he have the chance to remove IT (wouldnt be cool :\)

now if they r fight against each other...Realm C cast slow pop on A and 5 mins later B cast the dispell on A, B and C from same sphere, the spell have the chance to remove the Slow pop sent 5 mins b4 by his sphere mate...

we would have to choose, between friendly or hostile...maybe friendly just with light magic and hostile with dark magic...

That is a great idea. If they have a couple of spells working then what happens? Should it be a random on which one it dispells? For example, if they have an intensify training and someone hits them with a slow pop, and someone from their own sphere hits them with a dispell would they dispell only the slow pop or the IT?

Maybe it would be neat to try it dispelling all spells. Or have an additional spell that dispells all magic including boost mining etc.

I was saying that in my last post...

Should also have an opposite vigor spell. You cast on yourself or other's and gives a 50% defense bonus.

this was sugested few rounds ago I guess...I would love that spell...can u imagine:

demon + war general + 50% defense + SL + Great wall...and glory ratio around 800..man...I would love that!

Inverted Vigor would just be annoying.

NO to the reversed vigor, maybe to the dispel...

demon + war general + 50% defense + SL + Great wall

would mean jack chit.. barbs will just blast thru all that defence and grab you while your pants are down.

you will see more barbs players come out if that happens.

Spy Invisibility should be replaced by spy growth.. not much to over power it but enough to make a difference.

DOUBLE POSTS!!!

BAN HIM!!!

lol

man...just think for few seconds:

we have a lot of players that dont use barbarian becase they dont have spells...but even a barb would have a problem to hit someone with this "defensive spell"...because barbarians dont ignore spells from other realms.

I would still use it

no admins would have to make barbs neg. defensive spells just because its barbs!

spells are over rated anyways.. next round ill show you.

and i double posted cuz i just too lazy to hit the edit botton.

Spy inv. shouldn't change...

I made full use of that spell last round with the thieves den, 65:1 spy ratio, and it's 40% better chance to succeed I barely ever failed a bribe mission...

If a Dispel spell were added, it would have to replace something else. What would you suggest it replace?

The only one I would be willing to go without would be mana splurge. I am sure that others would disagree, but i think that is the only one that I don't use or wouldn't use on a normal basis.

i would be happy if slow pop and pop grow were eliminated. i find them pretty useless unless you have a lot of them at the same time

pop growth and slow pop r really useless...if u dont have many of them :\

with 65:1 your spy missions should barly ever fail! with or without spy inv. spell

bwahahahahahaha...

anyway...

id have to agree with lizard on this... mana splurge is hands-down the most useless spell in the game and could certainly do with being replaced...

however, i think dispel would be used mainly as a weapon. not many would risk having their buffs removed to take a shot at having a debuff removed - especially considering that the debuffs are a minor annoyance at worst (except when stacked i suppose).

so i dunno what replacing a friendly spell with a (probably) hostile spell would do to the balance of the magic types that'd be affected... i think water might be overpowered with dispel at rank 1...

i do like the dispel idea tho, and the effect which is removed should be completely random.

the reverse vigor idea sucks. among other reasons, the spell would be utterly useless. how many 1-general 1-troop hits to remove the "anti-vigors" you spent 12-48 hours building would it take to prove that?

noooo...mana is great!

Last round I wouldnt have my shields up when I was targetted, if I dont had 2 or 4 mana splurge on me...

Seeing as you only get any effect from up to 3 spells...

Anywho, I'd glady wave goodbye to slow pop to see spell dispell...

water have easy mana splurges...get 2 on your realm is easy...I would only need other from other realm...but if we have a good sphere, we could have around 5 or even 6 mana on you at once :-P

Well instead make it a 10% defense bonus for 24hrs, and you can stack it...

fair idea. also, how bout a spell that dispells spells before they are cast. i mean if the spells are prepared but not cast, they can be killed still.

good idea...we could destroy the enemy spell b4 he cast...we would randomly destroy the spell...we can destroy a meteor or mana splurge or any other spell ready to be used.

You don't get it do you??? Stackable spells (minus vigor and quickness) only have an effect on a realm up to 3 spells...having any more than 3 is a complete waste. Oh, and the 3rd one's effect is halfed...

ooh...I got it...

anyway...if I have only 3 spells on me...any time I'll have only 2 manas for x hours...if I have more stacked, I'll lose one, but I'll still have 3 in effects

Hmm... does that mean 3 of the same spells or 3 of any spells. Say I have a Pop. Growth, a Mana Splurge, and a Intensify Training on me. Does that mean if I cast a Spy Invisibilty on myself it will do nothing? Or does it only mean if i have 3 Mana Splurges a 4th will do nothing.

"...does it only mean if i have 3 Mana Splurges a 4th will do nothing"

only if u have same spell on you...

Yeah, it's 3 of the same spell...you could have 3 mana splurges, 3 ITs, and 3 RBs, and so on on you and have the effects from them on each different spell.

you're wrong, but its ok, i'll let you figure it out the hard way... watch how many times you can stack certain spells, it isnt the same for each one

Then how about setting me straight??? I have never really tested any of this..it's only info that was passed down to me a LONG time ago...

it's 50%, so u can stack all the mana spells on u that u want, but your mana productino will increase to a max of 150%, any more they have no effect, that's what i think it is at least
